Welcome to this session! For the whole day I’ll be looking at the replies to this thread and answer your questions. If something remains unanswered, replies can be posted even during the following days.

There are no rules, “anything” is anything! Use a grain of salt and a little bit of irony, though. Also, I would really like to hear something in your native language on your first comment: it can be a greeting, the question itself, a joke, an insult or anything crosses your mind in that moment. Have fun!

What can you do better than 99.9% of the rest of the human population?

What do you feel you’re so bad at that your capabilities are in the bottom 10%?

  I am one of the best overthinkers of the world, that is why I’m into software development.
  
  I am really an awful car driver, instead.

This community is dedicated to the discussion about the Raccoon for Lemmy mobile app. Raccoon is an open source app powered by Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and Compose Multiplatform (CMP) which intends not only to provide a mobile client for Lemmy, but also to create a space where users’ voice is listened to, and we grow together by exchanging opinions.

Main features:

view post feed and comments with different listing and sort types;
possibility to upvote and downvote (with configurable swipe actions);
community and user detail (with info about moderators/moderated communities);
user profile with one’s own posts, comments and saved items;
inbox with replies, mentions and direct messages;
global search with different result types (all, posts, comments, user, communities);
create and edit new posts (with optional images);
cross-post contents to other communities;
reply to post and comments (and edit replies);
mark posts as read (even while scrolling) and hide read contents;
custom appearance (color scheme, fonts, text sizes, post layout, etc.);
custom localization (independent of system settings);
block users, communities and instances;
report post and comments to moderators;
support for multiple accounts with account-specific settings;
lazy scrolling (referred to as “zombie mode”);
explore all the communities on a given instance in guest mode;
multi-community (community aggregation);
view the moderation log;
community moderation tool (examine and resolve reports, ban users, feature posts in community, block further comments from posts, mark comments as distinguished, remove posts/comments, review all created posts/comments, edit/create community);
save drafts for posts and comments;
anonymous mode with quick instance switch;
admin tools (purge users/posts/comments/communities, feature posts locally, hide/unhide communities).

Why was the project started?

experimenting and testing Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform in a real world project, to explore what could be achieved with multiplatform libraries and share as much code as possible in the commonMain source directory;
offering a feature rich Lemmy client mainly aimed at both beginners and “pro” users, i.e. users who are not content with just browsing the contents of the Fediverse, creating posts and answers but be able to customize the app and “feel at home”;
dig deeper inside Lemmy’s internals and understand better what it is like to work with a decentralized platform.

We believe that Lemmy has a lot of potential and part of its success depends on users being able to enjoy the experience on robust and well-done clients. Moreover, encouraging discussion between people is important to develop a healthy and tolerant society where everyone’s right and freedom are safeguarded. To know more, have a look at the Procyon Project’s manifesto.
